New Pediatric Eye Center Provides Superior Care for Most Vulnerable

Although San Francisco General Hospital’s new Pediatric Eye Center opened only four months ago, the effect the new kid-friendly environment is having on patients is clear.

“The people who work here are happier because the patients are happier coming here,” said Dr. Alejandra de Alba Campomanes, a Pediatric Ophthalmologist and the center’s director.

The new center, which shares the same area as the regular ophthalmology center, includes two new exam rooms that are both kid-friendly and equipped for smaller humans. For example, instead of a board with letters that become progressively tinier, the Pediatric Eye Center has a flat panel TV that displays images of animals and shapes that change in size to allow physicians to rate a child’s vision.

“The new center allows us to give better diagnoses and provide better treatments and expand access to the clinic to the children of San Francisco,” said Campomanes. TO READ MORE CLICK HERE
